Supercomputer's Premier League prediction

According to a supercomputer prediction, the 2021 Champions League winners will have to settle for an eighth-place finish at the end of the season.

SunSport reports that Boffins over at bettingexpert have compiled BETSiE, a supercomputer which has made a projection on how the final table will look after the January transfer window.

In their prediction, Arsenal look set to win the Premier League title with 88.5 points, with Man City finishing second with 82.9 points.

Man United have been backed to seal a third-place finish ahead of Newcastle United, who are in line to complete the top-four podium.

Elsewhere, Southampton have been given no chance for survival, with the side set for relegation alongside Bournemouth and Everton.

Fan want Chelsea investigated

Earlier, Sports Brief reported a cheeky football fan has lodged a petition, calling on UEFA to investigate Chelsea and their massive spending spree this January.

The Blues have signed eight players this window, with Benfica ace Enzo Fernandez their most expensive acquisition.

More than 1,000 people have already signed the written request, with another 500 making it more likely to get picked up.
